"If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.. When a liberal decides he needs health care, he demands that his neighbors pay for his."

Conservatives feel the most compassionate thing you can do is empower people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Liberals believe in handing out free boots, scolding you for putting them on wrong, and then charging you a boot tax.

A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican
Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws ...

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn’t think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It’s noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time. Joe is hom...

Arguments of the clip are totally false, baseless and unqualified.

Anyways, the other day I heard one so-called "conservative" expert on the radio suggesting his solution for health care for poor is for doctors to market health procedures (surgery, procedures etc) just like we market any commodity (food, services). He suggested that doctors should list the cost of procedures they can do on patients (like menu items). The rational is that competition will help the poor get affordable and better service.

Above is a side comment, but obviously one can see how ridiculous conservatives get when they can't even differentiate between a life-death situation like health which human beings don't hav...

I bet you guys are proud to be liberals.

Let's see, you ushered in abortion so that millions of unborn babies will never see the light of day; your labor unions have raised wages and manufacturing expenses so high that it drove our manufacturers out of the country so now we cannot compete; your sub prime liberal loans have caused a world wide recession; you have driven God out of the schools, out of the government, and out of our country at the determent of the family and morals; you have stopped oil drilling so that we now must rely on foreign oil like never before; you have prevented nuclear power plants so that coal has to be used which now pollutes the air, and by your generosity at t...

you have driven God out of the schools, out of the government,
Religion is supposed to be separate from public schools, and it's written into your constitution that religion and government are supposed to be separate as well. You fault liberals for trying to protect what your country stands for?

Where is that written in the Constitution? You'll need to point that out to me.
One of the reasons public schools were created was to encourage a common morality.

You fault liberals for trying to protect what your country stands for?
The nature of progressivism in NOT to protect. That is the nature of conservatism. The nature of libertarianism is to simply LIVE IT.
